Col. Wilbertorce Daniel, residing near
Augusta, Ca. raised this year on twenty
seven acres of land an average CT 421
bushels of wheat to the acre. This gives
practical demonstration that wheat can
be successfully raised as far South at least
as Augusta. The land was in cotton the
previous year 1t was turned with two
horse pillow and freely narrowed. About
$50 pounds of dissolved bone was used
to the acre, and one bushel aud three
quarters of wheat to the acre was put in
the ground.

Jay Gould's recent visi, TO Washington

Jay Gou'd's recent visit TO Washington
and vicinity in his yacht has already
borne good fruit. While at Mt. Vernon
he purchased 33t acres Of land adjoining
the property OF the Mt. Vernon Associa-
ton on the north, and hes given I tn the
association, thus eularging the Il, Yer
non estate to 235i acres. The purchase
was completed on Monday, and the lady
managers of the associations have returned
their thanks to Mr.. Gould for his hand
some donation. The idea Of the purchase
and donation suggested itself as Mr..
Gould was leaving Mt. Vernon after hav-
ing passed two hours there very pleasantly
with his family. In the course Of bis in
qLiries concerning the length and breadth
of the property, he was impressed with
the importance Of protecting the mansion
on the north by the addition Of lore land
and be promp ly authorized the purchase
OF the tract meurioned, and added tina, i,
would afford him gs'st pleasure to donate
il to the ladies OF the association as a
mark Of bis appreciation of the excellent
manner in which they are carry ing OUT the
the great trust imposed upon them in pre-
serving the home Of George Washington.
The property just added to the estate was
purchased from Lawrence and Elizabeth
Washington, great grand nephew and
niece Of Washington, for $4,000. Their
father was the last member of the Wash
ington family to sell his share of the orr
ginal site to the ladies Of the Mount Yer
non Association. The new addition will.
after few Improvements are made, afford
an unobstructed view up and down the
river from the mansion, and at the same
time prevent outsiders from building
frame houses too near the mansion or es
tablishing pleasure gardens that might be
Objectionable to the visitors to the tomb.

The hanging of Benjamin Hance 10 St.
Mary's county for feloniously asssultinG 8
young white lady of that county is great
ly to be regretted, as are all such acts Of
violence, which tend to lower the majesty
Of the law and to encourage infractions Of
the peace and good order of the commu-
nifty. The lynching is said to be the 6rst
that has ever taken place in st. Mary
county, and il is to be hoped that it will
be the last. From the admission said to
have been made by the prisoner just be-
fore his death, his crime would seem to
have been of more henious character
than the attempted assault with which
be was formally charged; but even
if this were the case, his guilt might have
been proven and the proper punishment
melted out to him by legal methods. On
the other hand, the lynching may be re-
garded as ia part at least the fruit of the
prolonged delays in the case OF Biscoe,
twice convicted in the Charles county
court of a murder committed year age
within the jurisdiction of St. Mary's coun-
ty, but not yet punished for his crime. In
his case the delay, although perhaps JUS
tifable from q technical standpoint, has
had a most irritating effect upon the pub
lie mind both in Charles and St. Mary
counties, owing to the horrible nature Of
the crime, the overwhelming evidence a.
gainst the prisoner and the great cost OF
the trials. The case of Biscoe and also
the desire to save the young lady assault
ed by Hance from the modification OF ap-
pearing in the witness box seem to have
been the chief considerations which
prompted the lynching at Leonardtown.
But, however great the aggravating causes
for interference, the act cannot be justified
and those who took part in it have no
occasion to congratulate themselves on
having wrecked vengeance on criminal
who was already within the grasp OF the
law, and would have received due pun
ishment. Balto San.

Maryland Politics.

United States Senator Wilson while in
Washington last week discussed the poll
tical situation IN this State in which he
pronounced himself in favor Of State SEN
ater Jackson for the governorship. He
says Mr.. Jackson will probably go into
the convention with solid delegation
from the Eas ern Shore. and it is not i'm
probable that he may derive support from
other sections of the State. He is we'll
known in Democratic circles, and he has
but few political enemies. While in Bal
timore the Senator says he learned that
tine regular Democratic managers have not
yet agreed upon any particular candidate,
but there seems to be a very friend y feel
ing for Mr.. jackson on every hand
Should the Eastern Shore delegation
stand together, they might induce some of
the Baltimore or Western Maryland dele
gates to join the Jackson forces. He says
Mr.. jackson in the gubernatorial chair
would have good effect upon the finances
of the State, as he is s shrewd business
man, who looks far into the future, and
possesses the faculties of a successful fl
nancier.
With reference to some of the other can
didates before the people Senator Wilson
says Mr.. Roberts appears to have consid-
cradle following, and will probably make
strong showing in convention. Some
of the Baltimoreans claim tina, Mr.. Ro-
berts's strength is over estimated, while
others contend that he has not yet shown
his hand The foundation for these as
sumptions can only be determined when
the convention meets. The Senator says
be does not recall an occasion when so
many eligible men were aspirsnts for the
governorship. and as there is so much
available material. there should be 20
difficulty about selecting = good man.
He says he has heard the name Of Repre-
sentative Compton mentioned in connec
ton with the governorship, but he believes
that Mr.. Compton, while possessing all
the qualifications for a good governor can
be more useful to the State in Congress.
He is rapidly building up an influence
around him. aud the longer he remains IN
Congress the mere benefit to his cons itu-
ents TIE fifth district" says the Sena-
tor, could not do better than to give Mr..
Compton third and 8 fourth term pro-
viding he will serve, and it might be ben
e6cial for the other districts to continue
to send their present Representatives back
to Congress so long as they pertsrm their
duties satisfactorily. The old system Of
only allowing a representative two terms
in Congress belongs to the past in North
ern and Western States. The latter have
discovered that the longer they keep one
man ia Congress the more influence in be
half Of his district he acquires The
Senator returned to Baltimore in the alter
noan to take the evening steamer down
the bay.

In commenting on the recent action of
President Cleveland ordering the return
of the Southern battle flags and the sud
den revocation of the sane order, Repre-
sentative Blount, of Georgia, said that
while it was an unfortunate error, partic-
ularly at this time, he does not think it
will lessen the good opinion of the South
ern people toward Mr.. Cleveland. The
most serious feature of the transaction is
that up to the present time the President
has been regarded as an unusually pru-
dent man, who seldom gives his official
sanction to an act until he has fully ex-
amined the subject and informed himself
as to what is to be accomplished and what
the ultimate result will be. Some people
will be foolish enough to charge him with
carelessness in not giving Gen. Drums
suggestion proper examination in the first
place. There are others who will charge
that be issued the original order without
intending that it should be carried out.
at was an unfortunate mistake, also, con-
tinued Mr.. Blount, "for the reason that
the Southern people da sot want these old
banners, as they would simply remind
them of their past suferings and losses.
and recall memories which are best for
gotten. It also affords John Sherman and
republicans of his class an opportunity to
renew their cry that Cleveland is the leader
of the Confederate Democracy instead OF
being the standard bearer of a national
party. However," said he, ''these people
who are charging President Cleveland
with insincerity, because BE has sought
to rectify his mistake by revoking an or
der which need nst have been made, seem
to forget that Gen. Grant, while President
got up one morning and accepted the re-
signation of one of his cabinet officers be-
fore breakfast in order to prevent the lat
ter's impeachment for gross misconduct
in Office"

It is about time that our patri- otic citizens were making prepara- tions for a proper celebration of the 4th of July. We would sug- gest that meeting be called. com mittees appointed, and other steps taken for general good time.

THE INDIANS.
Ore NOrc Wan Killed and Other
 Outrages Committed.

Outrages Committed.
 Since our last issue not much authentic news has been received regarding the movements of the Indians. In regard to the number on the warpath various reports are received. The Globe Silver Belt, says that on the Sth q count at San Carlos showed that there were but sixteen bucks and one squaw absent, while dispatches of date of the 18th say that the military jumped the Indians in the Rincon mountains on the 11th and cap tured all their stock. saddles, etc, and a subsequent dispatch from Captain Wint of the Fourth Cav airy says that about thirty dis mounted Indians crossed the San Pedro river on the same night, go ing eastward in the direction of the Agua Caliente. It is thought possible by some that they may stop in the Galiura mountains, which are inaccessible to mounted troops, while the opinion of others is that they are trying to get back to the reservation. They seem to be pretty closely hemmed in by troops, and it is thought that they will be captured before many days. The fact of their losing their horses must be of necessity a heavy blow to them, and will retard the free dom and rapidity of their move ments to great extent. It IS stated that the renegade Apaches now on the warpath, belong to the San Carlos tribe, whose depreda- tions during past Apache wars in the Territory were confined to section north of Cochise county. They are sad to be totally unfa- miliar with the country south of the Galiura mountains, and have never been in the Sierra Madres.
 Early on the morning of the Sth Mike Grace was killed and Billy Williams and Billy Leek shot at in Williams basin, eight miles west of Crittenden. Grace at the time he was killed was on his way to the cabin of Williams and Leek to warn them that the Indians were out when he was fired upon from ambush. He was about sixty years of age and highly esteemed by all who knew him.
 It is also said that shortly after leaving the reservation the hostiles had some trouble with Chiquito's band, killing two Indians. Rumors of other murders have been re ported, but are not confirmed.
 Other outrages are reported as follows: The Apaches, before leav- ing the vicinity of the place where Diehl was killed, stole twelve of Bill Ashley's horses from his ranch on the lower San Pedro. They were valued at S1, 200.
 Word was received on the 18th at Tucson from the San Pedro that the elegant frame ranch house of the Inter Ocean Cattle Company had been fired and destroyed by the Apaches, together with one of the finest stables in the Territory, recently erected by the company contiguous to the house.
 Various other losses of less serious character Lave been re- ported.
